James Geiger MD – Physician, Author and Wellness Specialist

Books on wellness have been written from many points of view. The Sweet Smell of Success takes a very unique approach to both of these topics. As an acute care anesthesiologist, I believe clinical aromatherapy should be integrated with conventional allopathic Western medicine in the Wellness Revolution of the twenty-first century. Aromatherapy with essential oils is one entity of the vast array of holistic specialties comprising nutritional medicine and complementary alternative medicine. Consider food and essential oils as nutritional medicine.

Tune in on your internet radio to hear the oilMD discuss aromatherapy for women’s health.

Host Ann Butenas  interviewed  Dr Geiger, a board certified anesthesiologist and clinically certified aromatherapist.

The doctor’s new book The Sweet Smell of Success: Health and Wealth Secrets promotes medical aromatherapy research in the 21st Century

and a whole lot more secrets revealed.

Consider this……..if an anesthesiologist found novel wellness information that was so new and exciting to him,  shouldn’t you think it is worth checking out as well.

Anesthesiologist Monitors with Vigilance and uses Vigilance WordPress theme

Monitor with Vigilance
The motto of anesthesia practice is vigilance. Anesthesiologists
and critical care doctors use the “rule of trends” in acute care medicine settings
to assess and measure response to treatment. Illness can be measured suddenly
in seconds or over decades, as in persistently poor diet leading to malnutrition
and obesity. The trend is not your friend when it comes to obesity in the
United States. In the last thirty years, in every state, the percentage of the
population defined as overweight to morbidly obese has increased. That time
span correlates directly with the massive rise and commercialization of … Continue Reading

Awareness and Anesthesia
To arrive at the ideal anesthetic, we need to understand more
about how anesthesia works and how people consent to have anesthesia.
Some types of surgical procedures can and should be accomplished using a
technique called conscious sedation, with monitored anesthesia care. Some
awareness is intended and expected during conscious sedation, so patients
need to be educated and consent to undergo that type of surgery and
anesthesia if indicated. In my experience, many people do not understand
the difference between conscious sedation and general anesthesia when it is
explained before surgery, nor do they remember the discussion after surgery.
Awareness while under the influence of general anesthesia … Continue Reading

The Ideal Brain

New brain cells are created as we exercise. The wonderful Miracle
Gro-like substance called brain-derived neutrotrophic factor (BDNF) induces
growth of new neurons. Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Science of
Exercise and the Brain, by John Ratey, MD, has generated significant interest
in new research supporting exercise as medicine for the brain.

Exercise affects cognitive ability just as it affects muscles, making the brain better and
smarter. These new BDNF-stimulated brain cells have increased capillary
circulation and higher levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin,
and norepinephrine. These findings about exercise have led researchers to
propose that exercise benefits memory. Paradoxically, exercise is remotely
chemically akin … Continue Reading

Encourage romantic encounters and stimulate sexual desire

New endorphin and aphrodisiac products claim to encourage intimacy and stimulate sexual desire. These products are manufactured with delivery systems that use the sense of smell to increase the effectiveness the body’s natural endorphin and aphrodisiacs hormones. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is the smell receptor organ of the five senses that is involved in chemical communication between human beings. Synthetic chemical triggers that mimic human pheromones, such as perfume from spray bottles, can be spritzed onto the body … Continue Reading
